Discovery University

Learning, The Gift of Hope

Discovery University allows people living on a low income to participate in non-credit, university-level Humanities and Social Sciences courses at no cost.

Thanks to a partnership between The Ottawa Mission, University of Ottawa, Saint Paul University, Carleton University and First Baptist Church, the courses are taught by professors from the universities and all textbooks and course materials are provided at no cost to the students. The program helps encourage a commitment to learning and helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Courses begin in late September and late January and run for ten weeks.
